Monument to the Conquerors of Space
Monument to the Conquerors of Space, Space exploration monument in Ostankinsky District, Moscow, Russia
The Monument to the Conquerors of Space rises 110 meters into the sky, constructed from titanium plates forming a rocket trail design at 77-degree angle.
The monument emerged from a 1957 competition following Sputnik-1 launch, with over 350 project submissions before its construction completion in October 1964.
Bronze reliefs on the granite base depict scientists, engineers, and workers who contributed to the Soviet space program, with verses celebrating space exploration achievements.
The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics operates inside the monument base, accessible through the VDNKh metro station at 111 Mira Avenue.
The monument represents the second tallest memorial structure in Russia, featuring titanium plates specifically recommended by space engineer Sergei Korolev.
